About 40 people marched Monday to the detention facility, calling for U.S. Customs and Border Protection to let them in or let the children out to participate in a free mobile clinic.
A group of doctors, who last month pressured U.S. Customs and Border Protection to allow them to give flu vaccines to detained migrant children, have now taken their fight to the driveway of a detention facility in San Ysidro, Calif., and said they are not leaving until they get approval.
Dr. Mario Mendoza, a retired anesthesiologist, said it would take less than half an hour to administer the vaccines to more than 100 children via the free mobile flu clinic they set up directly outside the CBP facility. Raquel Perez, a UC Davis medical student, volunteered her time along with doctors and other healthcare providers from Doctors for Camp Closure hoping to give flu shots to detained migrants at the Chula Vista Border Patrol Station in San Ysidro, Calif., on Monday.
“My mother literally carried me on her shoulders through the river. And 17 days in a desert. Walking, with very little food. I don’t know how we made it,” Cardoza said. “Everyone has held a child with a fever in their hands and to not provide medical care is very, very cruel,” he said. “The autopsy report that one of the doctors read here said, ‘He had a fever so they told him to just lay on the ground cause it’s cold,’ Really? Would you like for your child to just lay on the ground in a jail cell when they have a fever? That is really very cruel.”
Dr. Bonnie Arzuaga tries to contact the Border Patrol as doctors and other healthcare providers from Doctors for Camp Closure were hoping to give flu shots to detained migrants at the Chula Vista Border Patrol Station in San Ysidro, Calif. on Monday.
